The bad news skipped us: the last December 1st François Lesage passed away. He was a master embroiderer, founder of the Ecole Lesage (Atelier de Broderie - Paris). Back in 2002 the Maison Lesage joined the Chanel group but they continued to work for all the haute couture leaders.

François Lesage has died aged 82 (born March, 31, 1929); the recent Aguttes auction of Roger Vivier creations help us to remember his work.
